A long time ago, there lived a boy who wanted to see the world. After defying his mother, he ventures out to find a place where he belongs. Along his journey, he climbs to the clouds on a giant beanstalk and encounters a sleepy, friendly giant! What...
Riddle had to rub his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming. What was he looking at?
A larger-than-life human... I read about something like this. Is this what they called... a giant?
The giant had shiny, silver hair that glistened in the light. His eyes sparkled like dazzling orchids. He wore a green vest over a ripped, dark gray shirt, and dark beige pants. Riddle couldn't see the rest of his features; they were shrouded by the fluffy white clouds.
Where am I?

The giant was staring down at Riddle in disbelief. Riddle was staring up at the giant. He couldn't believe his eyes. Neither could the giant in front of him. Both were simply staring at one another.
"What... what are you?" The giant asked.
"W-what do you mean?! I'm a human! What are YOU?!" Riddle asked in return.
"A human?" The giant leaned down closer to get a better look at the boy. Riddle backed away, feeling overwhelmed by the giant's presence. "Why are you so small...? You couldn't possibly be a citizen of Briaria... you're too little. Where did you come from?"
"Obviously, I came from Earth. The question is... what IS this place? And why are you so big?" Riddle asked.
"This is Briaria, ruled by our prince Malleus Draconia. Your kingdom, Earth... where is that?"
Riddle stepped back. "W-what? Earth isn't a kingdom; it's the planet I hail from! You live on Earth too, just... not ON it, per say."
The giant reached his hand out to Riddle. The boy backed away until he hit the back of the beanstalk. "W-what are you doing?!"
"I'm picking you up. I must show you to father... he would be so fascinated at my discovery."
"Y-you're not going to EAT me, are you?! HEY!!"
The giant cupped Riddle in gentle hands, got up, then turned. With that, he proceeded to move away with the boy towards a massive, stone castle.

Riddle peered out the hole in the giant's hands and nervously began to sweat.
Where is he taking me?! He needs to unhand this INSTANT! Riddle thought with anger and fear.
A few doors opened, followed by tromping on a carpet. Riddle looked out the hole in the giant's hands again.
Is this... a castle?
"Father! Where are you, Father?" The giant called.
"In my chambers, Silver! My, you sound eager today. What's on your mind?" Another voice had responded. The giant who was carrying Riddle was named Silver.
